e-mail to former newsie colleague of Vleeptron Dude who found me 35 years later on LinkdIn or whatever

wow okay during my confusing and
painful collisions with Higher Education, I majored in theater/drama at NYU in
da Bronx (i.e., in wild theater party orgies), so now you tell me D**** has
reached the Zenith of All My Life Ambitions: He's writ and staged an
Off-Broadway Play!!! (Did they invite him to the cast party?) What is the play's
name, who reviewed it? D**** used to mutter about eventually writing a novel,
but I don't think he considered me Worthy to share Deep Literary Dreams with.
Once I bought him a novel I liked, "The Origin of the Brunists" by Robert
Coover, and tho he appreciated the gesture, I think the book made him throw up.
(Not an original reaction to reading Coover.)

Here's [4-sheet at top] something inspired by one of
my favorite playwrights, I saw it produced in the little experimental theater at
Lincoln Center, and IMHO the production sucked.

But the play -- originally
written by a French junior high school student about a math teacher he hated -- is just -- well, it opened up a New Universe for human beings, including
moi. Postalo Vleeptron is one of my postal issuing authorities from my vacation
planet (I got a condo in Ciudad Vleeptron near the Shoe Mirrors UnderWay stop).

As winter approaches, i am also
violently envious of your childhood in the Bahamas. C2 taught in the Caymans for
a few years -- I think she still has a bank account there with like $53 plus a
few decades of interest. Wow, I know somebody what's got a bank account in the
Caymans.

When we've been able to swing it, we
like the (former) Dutch islands, particularly Statia. Stay away from the French
half of Sint/Saint Maarten, you'll get shot or stabbed there, sometimes accidentally by les Gendarmes themselves. The Dutch half
prohibits all such non-Calvinist misbehavior.

We don't have to do anything about
our Leach Field, but it's not advised to eat stuff C2 grows on top of it. Most
enjoyable story I covered in Miami was this huge garbage truck that had
sunk into the landfill's Deep Shit Lake, and any foole who wanted to put on a
deep-sea diver soot and go down there could have the big truck for free if he
was successful. Took him 3 days of diving into Solid Waste, but he managed to
hook a chain to that truck. (He told me it wasn't worth it, and he sure wasn't doing
anything like that ever again. I think his gf operated the air pump topside.)

Pardon my senile dementia, I think
M*****'s Pulitzer was for her Herald reporting, not for the girls basketball
book. Do you know folks who shifted to the Palm Beach Whatchamacallit?
Who?
